Anybody have a set of old roms laying around? I'm not fussy about the version. A friend of mine has a 520 that he uses for games, and somehow (How?) he managed to trash a rom chip (i.e. the ST won't do anything when it's turned on and one of the rom chips is very HOT to the touch......) Name your price (as long as it's low......) --------- Dave Douglass Computer Sciences Corporation Piscataway, NJ 08854 .....!rutgers!rubbs1!dave.douglass -- Dave Douglass - via FidoNet node 1:107/330 UUCP: ...!rutgers!rubbs1!Dave.Douglass ARPA: Dave.Douglass@rubbs1.FIDONET.ORG \...!rutgers!rubbs1!Dave.Douglass

It could be the rom chip, but also make sure that none of the rom output lines (data lines) are shorted to anything else (or together). Shorted outputs draw a lot of current so they tend to get very warm -- but the actual short could be all the way across the pc board. -- - John M.

However, all copies of the boot diskettes have been damaged and hence I can not boot machine anymore. The ST is Board rev. C if that is any help or means anything. Thanx in advance. keith.
